This is surprising. Earlier this year, the mods at MDDB were obviously very protective of William, banning at least three posters (consiglieri, RockSlider, and GiGi1975) immediately just for mentioning or asking about the misogyny thread on this forum or the cancellation of William's upcoming work on the KEP. The threads were immediately deleted altogether as well, not just closed, so that the MDDB community would not get wind of what had happened with him. Juliann directed shrill accusations of "libel" at me over the matter and called me "very stupid," suggesting that William would have a "slam dunk" case against me if he wished to sue me, and Nemesis' "MormonDiscussions.com & Misogyny" thread was a pretty transparent attempt at accusing the residents of this forum of misogyny as a form of twisted revenge on William's behalf. Going back further into the past, they had disciplined posters for attempting to start threads over there documenting William's questionable behavior here and deleted the content of those threads.

I kind of figured that William's return to MDDB was the reason I was banned even though I hadn't posted there in months. I have no way of confirming this, but the time frame seems about right.

I'm wondering what on earth changed behind the scenes at MDDB to cause the moderators to shift from generous protection of William to banning him. It certainly wasn't a new commitment to fair and balanced moderation.

I don't think his banning had anything to do with any other considerations. When I left (viewing) the thread, it was very clear to me that Will would be in serious trouble if he didn't remove his sig.line, as requested. There may well have been some back and forth exchanges between Will and the mods in private, over this issue. I strongly suspect so, and those exchanges may have propelled them to act against him.

Other than that, I don't see any need whatsoever to grow even more conspiracy theories. Maybe Will told them they were "spiritually blind" by "favouring apostates" on MDDB, but that's as far as I'll speculate.

There's a real tendency to grow conspiracy theories here until they become 50 story buildings, without any substantial evidence.

I'm pretty sure Will doesn't place his faith in message boards - Mormon or anti-Mormon. He may eventually even wear this banning with a sense of pride.

Again? I believe that's the only place vocalizations originate from with this one.

Okay, I might have stated that incorrectly. I pray that he never becomes critical of the church. For many, I do not mind, but in his particular case, I think it best that he remains very much devoted to defending the faith.

I doubt you'll ever see criticisms of the Church from Will. To the contrary, he'll take pot shots at anyone he perceives to be even marginally "off course", and I don't think he'll have any problem consigning MDDB to the "apostate bin", and well and truly on their merry way to Hell. He'll dump them faster than the speed of light.

Shake his faith? LOL. You don't know Will.

How can I give examples when your posts were cenored by the mods? I just see the mods deleting your more insulting sentences. Maybe that is enough examples.
